2: Parallelism and concurrency

Abstract

This is a general material of concurrency, parallelism, and structured parallel programming.

Keywords

True Concurrency; Parallelism; Structured Parallel Programming

In this chapter, we analyze the concepts of parallelism and concurrency, unstructured parallelism, and structured parallelism.

We introduce unstructured parallelism in Section 2.1, structured parallelism in Section 2.2, and the way from unstructured parallelism to structured parallelism in Section 2.3. In Section 2.4, we give the foundation of unstructured and structured parallel computation.
